Enjoyed the ideas here Janet for me I thought perhaps to finish at 'in a
Chinese sweatshop'.would be stronger as the rest seems implied
Thanks Patrick

Does this work for anyone? (Yes or No will do, but I really would
like to know!)
Ripped
------
I CARE FOR NOBODY
said the shirt.
Fucked, ripped, empty.
$60 of emotionless 2005 neopunk.
10 of them identical. That's
600 blankstare dollars.
1976 punk said CRASS
or ANARCHY. And if your
shirt was ripped, it wasn't ripped
in a Chinese sweatshop.
Who cares for nobody?
The corporation.
"Anger is an energy"
If I can't have love give me hate.
I bought jeans. Hot red,
flared, textured, labelled
PERVERT
